So we won the match et al. You all know all that needs to be known about the match by now. But let me give you an insiders point of view. It was at the Brabourne Stadium. I don’t know where I got the idea it was going to be at the newly done up [...]

It’s a Virgin strip - but the Cricket Club of India is apparently all ready for tomorrow’s India vs Australia T20 match.
“The stands were squeaky clean, they smelled of fresh paint and rows of chairs were neatly laid out in the stands”
I’m excited. The very first Cricket Match at the CCI. The very first [...]

“First of all I want to say something over here. I want to thank you back home Pakistan and where the Muslim lives all over the world.“
When I first heard the Pakistani Skipper Shoaib Malik saying those words during the cup ceremony at the Twenty 20 finals after losing to India, the first thought that [...]

So we won the Twenty20 World Cup Championship. It was a night no cricket lover in India (which perhaps accounts for 90% of the population?) will ever forget. That includes us, a motley crew of pizza eating, Apple Fizz drinking (yeah, it’s a cool drink to hang out with), ice-cream slurrrping, Paki bashing (well, only [...]
I’m all for the Peace Talks between India and Pakistan. Really I am.
But cricket, cricket is a different question.
Here in India, cricket is an organized religion. And the India v/s Pakistan match is Midnight Mass.
(Quote me on that, rather nice isn’t it?)
It’s 1.48 in the am but everyone, EVERYONE in the whole of India [...]

Yes, that’s the newest controversy! Should our (fantastic!) cricket team sign the new contract laid out for them by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The new contracts apparently have these new features:
* Payment for players will be based on their performance during the matches.
* There will be a limit on the number [...]
The finals!
Both Semis were unbelievable!
First, Federer slaughtered poor Roddick. 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. The second set was pure delight- unless of course one was supporting Roddick. In which case, I’m sure it was hell. To quote Vijay Amritraj who was commentating:
“That’s not a tennis racquet in his hand - it’s a magic wand.”
Yes, pure magic.
And then, [...]
Ok fine, I admit I went GAGA over the man, lol! Read the gory details on Rediff News here
(Click on pic to read article & do read the msgs below the article! Promise they’ll make you lol - or if you me, they’ll feed your narcissism!
One says “Who’s Lucky? Definitely Dravid is the lucky [...]
4th place, yes. But honestly after that race, no one, not a single one person can doubt that Schumi was, is and will always be a champion. That he doesn’t give up. Ever. Even if it meant going side-by-side just inches apart from Kimi Raikkonen to get into 4th place.
By that time I would have [...]
Whatever your point of view, whomever you may support, whichever constructor you’re backing, the truth is - this year’s F1 has been full of surprises.
The biggest dissapointment to all die-hard F1 fans (including I’m sure, the most avid Schumi-haters) was Shums retirement announcement. After all everyone will miss the man that literally defined F1 in [...]
